Memoirs and clippings ca. 1908, n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32148522

Chiefly handwritten memoirs (131 pp.) documenting Moses's activities between 1861, the year he graduated from medical college, and 1864. The memoirs, written ca. 1908, consist of narratives; excerpts from letters to his sister, Sarah, and friend, Dr. Thomas W. Coe; and diary entries. The writer describes in detail his travels abroad in Germany, Switzerland, England, and France. Moses went abroad in 1861 to continue his medical studies in Paris. Some information on French society and medical practices are included. Upon return to the United States in 1862, Moses entered the Navy as a medical officer, and a significant portion of the memoirs describe his service as the Surgeon in Charge of a Navy transport that carried patients between Alexandria, Va., and Newport, R.I. Concluding the memoirs, Moses writes about his service in Washington, D.C, and Alexandria, Va. hospitals, and describes Washington, D.C. and Alexandria. Also included are clippings from THE FINLEY HOSPITAL WEEKLY as well as an article, "Story of the Moses' - Famed as Shipbuilders," accompanied by a bank advertisement.
